When I log off, I do Command+Q on Slack and e-mail. Nobody can reach me after work through work channels. I simulate leaving the office.

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI really need to find myself in a position where I have no responsibilities besides just writing code.
- scient 7y agoAnd finding that place also means you will never be anything more than that. Thats what always strikes me about these complaints about having to do a little extra, or stuff thats not directly in your job description etc. And then complain about how your manager sucks because you are not valued or promoted fast enough. Trust me, most engineers are not THAT good that their code writing contributions alone would justify high career leaps. Even the highly technical leaders need to do a lot of brain work thats not necessarily coding - like architecture design and whatnot, and most of that requires a lot of interaction, discussions and other soft skills.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI'm surprised to hear people can just turn their brains off at the end of the day - for me I'm always aware of my email and I'm monitoring it, just in case of an outage or some other emergency
